Today the Howard Beach Lindenwood Civic held a “Day of Remembrance” for all the victims and survivors of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the world trade center.

As part of todays ceremony the flag was raised on the newly installed flagpole at the site of the 9/11 Survivor tree in Howard beach just to the Right of the mural location at 84st and the Belt Parkway overpass.

Councilwoman @joannariola32 and @nyccouncil have a entered resolution petitioning the federal government to recognize September 11 as a federal holiday. And will be voted upon on September 14 at the nyc council meeting.

Thank you to all of the elected officials who came and spoke at todays ceremony. We will Never Forget the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
